“There was a group of people meeting at the Gateway Transit Station to fight, when the stabbing occurred,” Simpson said.

PPB East Precinct and Transit Police Division officers converged on the outer East Portland MAX station, located at 1101 NE 99th Avenue, to look for the suspect, while medical first-responders prepared the stabbing victim for transport.

“15-year-old male, suffering from traumatic but not life-threatening injuries, was transported to a local hospital for medical care,” reported Simpson.

It didn’t take long for a PPB K-9 team to sniff out the knifeman. “Officers located the suspect, a 14-year-old male, and took him into custody,” Simpson said. “He was later released into his parents’ custody.”

Now, it’s up to the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office to decide what charges, if any, will be brought in this case.
